I saw her, came up to her and squeezed her hand. Nothing had to be said.

Seeing her stand there unable to even support herself, made me feel helpless once more. Just like last night. Just like last night. Seeing her struggle to even drag her feet broke my heart. I was thankful to be behind her, where I couldn't see her expression.

The four fighting it all, together. Making through the long walk, together.

And then seeing the lady, usually very well put together and full of grace, not wanting to let go.

When we hugged, I was just really glad I could offer her something, in the midst of everything.

I don't quite know how to say this, and it'll never be enough, but I'm so so sorry beyond words. I'll always be here okay. Always. I love you and it WILL be alright. I'll be there for you. I will.
